The 'Three or more MLB batting titles' quiz

For 35 years, Major League Baseball hit king, three-time National League batting champion and three-time World Series champion Pete Rose has been ineligible for the Hall of Fame. But he (and the legendary "Shoeless," Joe Jackson of the Chicago "Black Sox") will finally be eligible for enshrinement in Cooperstown. 

MLB commissioner Rob Manfred explained his decision in a letter to attorney Jeffrey M. Lenkov, according to ESPN's Don Van Natta Jr.

 "A person who is no longer with us cannot represent a threat to the integrity of the game. Moreover, it is hard to conceive of a penalty that has more deterrent effect than one that lasts a lifetime with no reprieve."

Which brings us to today's quiz. Rose is one of just 30 players in Major League Baseball history to win three or more batting titles in their career. How many of those 30 can you name in five minutes?

Good luck!
